Bath and inner circle at Stonehenge… amazing experience!

I took the inner circle tour to Stonehenge + Bath. The experience at Stonehenge is incredible! Our guide Eva did a great job during the day along Bath and Lacock. Congratulations to Eva and Mo for this great experience!

The best tour is great. I...

The best tour is great. I wouldn’t have added the boat. If I known it was gonna be less than 30 minutes I would do the bus again, but not the boat.

Excellent Tour!

This was the highlight of our trip! We saw all of the major London attractions with a knowledgeable, helpful, and informative guide (John) who told interesting stories about thehistory of London. And also included the beautiful ride on the Thames River with fish and chips at the Jagged Hare after the tour. Lots of great picture opportunities!
